Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 54

The woman was startled at the door. “Excuse me. I don’t know where the lounge is...”

Clarence paused his pace. He looked over from aside, only to find an unknown woman standing at the door. He creased his handsome brows slightly and asked, “Who are you?”

Modesty was quite awkward. She clenched her hands in nervousness, blushing. “I’m Modesty Parker, a jewelry designer from SG Jewelry Magazine. I came here to thank you, Mr. Conrad...”

Clarence looked quite annoyed. “Did you come here alone?”

“Yes, I did.” Modesty bit her lower lip and didn’t know what to say. Suddenly, she recalled his order when she came in. Instantly, she seemed to have grabbed the straw to save her life. She asked, “Mr. Conrad, do you want to have a cup of coffee? I can go there now...”

“No, thanks.” Clarence sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. He looked quite indifferent and aloof. “What can I do for you?

Modesty walked in and closed the office door. She took a few steps forward. Looking at the handsome man in front, she blushed deeply. “I’m Modesty. Mr. Conrad, do you still remember me?”

“No, I don’t.”

His tone was already with some coldness. H was running out of patience already.

Biting her lower lip, Modesty explained, “Three years ago, I got the first prize of Young Designers' Contest, so I got the financial support from Conrad Group to study in France. I’ve just come back not long ago. Now I’m the executive jewelry designer in SG Jewelry Magazine. I came here to thank you deliberately, Mr. Conrad. If it weren’t for you, I...”

Clarence interrupted her without any expression, “Wasn’t Stella Radomil the winner of the first prize?”

Modesty didn’t seem to expect that he would know Stella’s name. Her expression changed slightly but soon was hidden. “Yes, I won the second prize. However, Mr. Conrad, you said she had taken the contest as a business opportunity and she didn’t deserve the chance because she wanted to make profits from it. Her qualification was canceled and I went to France instead.”

Clarence didn’t speak for a few seconds. Then he asked, “Have you done?”

Modesty didn’t get it. “What?”

“If you’ve done thanking me, you can leave now.”

Before coming here, Modesty had asked around what Clarence’s character was. Hence, she wasn’t surprised to hear his words. She said, “I’d like to invite you for a meal, Mr. Conrad. May I have the pleasure, please?”

Clarence looked up at her with an extremely cold face, “Are all designers from SG Jewelry Magazine so idle?”

Modesty misunderstood that Clarence thought that she had wasted Conrad Group’s money for studying abroad since she came out during the work time. She explained, “I... I’ve just joined SG Jewelry Magazine. The other designer is in charge of the current designs. I also asked for a leave today...”

Clarence stood up. “It’s none of my business.”

Before she requested, Modesty was well prepared that she would be refused. “Okay. Mr. Conrad, I won’t be holding you up for so long. Next time, when you are free, please contact me.”

After finishing her words, Modesty put her business card on the tea table boldly. Then she turned away.

After Modesty was gone, Clarence pressed the internal life of the assistant’s office. He asked in a cold tone, “Where is Nathan?”

“Mr. Lance is out.”

Clarence ordered coldly, “Notice all the employees - in the future, if the designer of SG Jewelry Magazine came here again, ask her to go back directly. Don’t let them bother me.”

The woman who should have come here didn’t show up, but he received another design who shouldn’t have come here.

The assistant on the phone immediately answered, “Yes, Mr. Conrad.”

Staring at the documents in front of him, Clarence felt a bit annoyed. After a few seconds, he pulled out his phone and dialed Vincent’s number.

“Hello, Vincent. What’s Horace Keith up to recently?”

“It seems he has been taking care of the Jason family’s business.” Vincent added, “I heard that Mr. Dempsey Conrad has contacted the Jason family privately. In the birthday banquet this Saturday, it would be confirmed.”

Clarence wasn’t surprised at all. His voice became flat, and he asked, “Dempsey has taken a lot of actions recently.”

“It seems that Horace is quite reluctant. Shall I talk to him and help him?”

“Why would you care about him? Just send his schedule to Annie in the future.”

Vincent was speechless.

He wondered if Clarence was nuts.

...

On the way back home, Stella called Sherry, but the call wasn’t connected at all.

She was a bit worried. She asked the driver to make a turn and also texted Channing.

When Stella walked out of the elevator, she heard Liam’s voice. “Sherry, please give me one more chance. I promise I won’t contact her anymore...”

“We can’t be together anymore. When you cheat on me, didn’t you feel so happy? Why are you asking me for another chance now?”

“I stayed abroad for a whole year, but you were not by my side. What could I do? But, Sherry, please rest assured. I don’t like her at all. I only love you.”

Sherry burst into laughter in anger. “You couldn’t control your private part, but now you are blaming me for it. Fuck off! Now! I don’t want to see you anymore!”

“I just cheated on you once. What about Stella Radomil? She was a man’s mistress secretly for three years. Now, Horace came back, she hooked up with him. For your sake, I didn’t tell Horace anything about it.”

“Liam Keith, who do you think you are? Without Stella, would Horace know who you are? Besides, Stella married the man. Do you think others are all as shameless as you are?”

“If she married the man, why she never dared to tell the public about it. Sherry, I’m saying it for your own good. Don’t be deceived by Stella Radomil. Now she hooked up with Horace just because she wanted to find a father for the bastard in her belly...”

The more he spoke, the more insulting his words sounded. Sherry couldn’t bear it any longer. She slapped him across his face fiercely, “Fuck off! You asshole!”

When Liam rushed out of the door, he bumped into Stella.

He paused a bit. However, he didn’t look embarrassed at all because he insulted Stella at her back. Instead, he sneered and left quickly.

Sherry tossed his belongings out. She found Stella standing there. “Stella, have you heard what he said... He’s just a lunatic, a mad dog. He barks and bites anyone at random. Please don’t take his words to heart.”

Stella knew that Liam blamed her for breaking up with Sherry, so he targeted her and insulted her.

Stella smiled at Sherry. “What can I do for you, Sherry?”

The latter shook her head. “I’m done packing already. It seems that he doesn’t want them either.”

Right then, the door of the elevator opened. Channing showed up.

As soon as he received Stella’s text message, he asked someone to back him up. Then he rushed over.

Looking at the pile of stuff in front of Sherry’s door, he asked, “Are you girls all right?”

Sherry answered, “We’re fine. Chan, good timing. Please help me to toss the garbage into the bin downstairs. Since it’s garbage, it should be in the bin. We should go for dinner after it’s done.”

As soon as he got here, Channing knew something must have happened. Since none of the ladies wanted to tell him, he didn’t ask them. Then he helped move the garbage.
